PATRICIA A. BLACKMON, A.J.:
     Relator, Fredrick C. Lilly, seeks a writ of mandamus in order
to compel the respondent,  Judge Daniel O. Corrigan, to render  a
ruling a ruling with regard to a  motion to withdraw guilty plea,
Criminal Rule 32.1 with accompanying memorandum, sworn  affidavit
and exhibits  as filed in the underlying case of State v.  Lilly,
Cuyahoga Common Pleas Case No. CR-52754.  The respondent has filed
a motion for summary judgment.
     Attached to the respondent's motion for summary judgment is a
copy of  a judgment entry, as  journalized on December 17,  1997,
which demonstrates disposition of the relator's motion to withdraw
plea of  guilty.   Thus, the relator's  complaint for  a writ  of
mandamus is moot. State ex rel. v. Coleman (1983), 6 Ohio St.3d 5;
State ex rel. Jerningham v. Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas
(1996), 74 Ohio St.3d 278.
     Accordingly, we grant  the respondent's  motion to  dismiss.
Costs to respondent.
     Writ denied.
